as promised

I encourage you to listen with headphones or earbuds, so you can experience the perspective of where you are in the room.

"Jazz is just a reflection of life….Life is improvised, life is uncertain. It's not solid. It's not permanent. The art I choose disappears after it's played, it goes off into the ether. I love that," - Jerry Granelli

- they had just walked in the door and unpacked the instruments - Roy plays a note - Kelby doesn’t even have time to take off his jacket and the listening begins. The music can’t happen without the great ears of these artists. They experiment, they play gleefully, they are by themselves in the moment with their craft but all the while attending to what is happening around them – listening.

jazz is not a conversation ... jazz is a dialogue ... we are all speaking at once - including the silence - Jerry Granelli
